Any tips for effectively avoiding borderline harassment by restaurant staff, street hustlers and market sellers?

Honestly, I’ve really enjoyed my time in Istanbul so far, The Turkish people are very sweet, helpful and kind, I’ve enjoyed doing numerous workshops and tours about the history of Türkiye. The only issue I’ve encountered is the above in the title, I don’t consider it a representation of the kind Turkish people we’ve met and have helped us so far on our visit but my only question is how we can further stop the harassment. We are often followed and pestered even after we say a firm (but polite!) “no thank you” or simply ignoring. I’m hoping anyone who is more informed than us can offer us some tricks while we are still here as it is sadly putting a damper on fully immersing ourselves in the unique Turkish culture and food.

It’s fairly recent and the plot is about a biracial black woman who is an influencer but is having mental health struggles, she reconnects with her old white childhood friend and is invited to go on a trip (maybe bachelorette?) with her and her other white friends (race is important) she agrees and the idea is that this woman is isolated and used by the group to the point the film turns into a horror/ psychological thriller film. I’m fuzzy on the details but it reminds me of Zola.
